My Husband is Wonderful

I just wanted to share with the world that my husband is wonderful! I've had quite a few struggles with the first couple of weeks of school, mainly stemming from the fact that it is the end of week two and I still don't have books for any of my classes! Its a long, ridiculous story that I won't get into here, but suffice it to say that I've made many an unhappy phone call and now I'm just going to buy the books that I need when we're in Phoenix next week! Ridiculous! However, in the midst of my stress, when I was wondering if I was even going to be able to take these classes or if I'd have to drop them and wait.. Lowell was very supportive! At first not so much, but then... He prayed for me. And he encouraged me. And he reminded me that God was bigger than the morons at the bookstore and than He knows how much I want to graduate this spring... And Lowell kept the kids for the evening so that I could just sleep and get to feeling better... And so, I'm announcing - My husband is wonderful! :) I'm lucky and I know it! :)On a side note, this is my new hair! What do you think??? I personally love it! Not the best picture, taken in my bathroom, but I have to take A LOT of pictures of myself before I get one that I like, so you'll just have to deal with the background! :) Blessings, RaniPS I wanted to mention that there are more songs on the player at the bottom of the screen than you can see. If you highlight one, you can scroll down and listen to other songs, or you can put it on random... Anyway, I just want everyone to appreciate some of the great love songs we have for Christ... :)

"Y'know, this was supposed to be my weekend off, but noooo. You got me out here draggin' your heavy ass through the burnin' desert with your dreadlocks stickin' out the back of my parachute. You gotta come down here with an attitude, actin' all big and bad... And what the hell is that smell? I could've been at a barbecue! ... But I ain't mad." - Captain Steven Hiller (Will Smith) Independence Day We're not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us; we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be.- C. S. Lewis

We got one problem." - BJ Hunnicut MASH"The only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve." -- Albert Schweitzer"Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out." -- Vaclav Havel"If you understand, things are just as they are; if you do not understand, things are just as they are." -- Zen proverb"If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, 'thank you,' that would suffice." -- Meister Eckhart

Ross: Hey guys. Does anybody know a good date place in the neighborhood? Joey: How about Tony's? If you can finish a thirty-two-ounce steak, it's free. Ross: Okay. Hey, does anyone know a good place if you're not dating a puma?- FriendsGod, who foresaw your tribulation, has specially armed you to go through it, not without pain but without stain.- C. S. Lewis

My Bible Verse

Colossians 3: 15-17

This is the verse I have tatooed on my ankle and, I'm ashamed to say, I don't have it memorized. So I'm putting it here so that I will read it frequently, and also so that you can appreciate it with me. And maybe you'll be moved to memorize it with me. :)"Let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body, you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful. Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom He gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts. And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father." (NLT)
